Medical Foster Home (MFH) Program

Orlando VA Medical Foster Home Program

When living at home becomes difficult, most people would rather remain in a homelike setting rather than move to a long term care facility. The MFH Program provides an alternative to long-term care at a nursing home. It connects a Veteran who has chronic medical needs and limited social support with an approved VA caregiver. The VA MFH Caregiver opens their home and heart to give individualized hands-on care and support to up to a maximum of three Veterans. Providing individualized attention to meet Veteran specific needs is a hallmark of the VA MFH Program and results in high satisfaction from Veterans and Caregivers alike. 

Care You'll Receive

All Veterans are enrolled in the VA Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) Team, who provide primary care case management in the Medical Foster Home. The care team includes: primary care provider, nurse, social worker, dietician, psychologist, rehab therapist and recreational therapist.
